The Signal State

I appreciate the modular synthesis love. But some of these puzzles *really* struggle with having the difficulty stem from poor instructions rather than a genuinely hard problem. Could use a little more polish overall.

VCV Rack - The Game (and I mean that in the best possible way). It is like if you took a Zachtronics game and made it about music/audio signals.

I mostly enjoyed The Signal State, but I have to admit that puzzle fans would not be missing much by skipping it. Honestly, the same may even be true for people who would otherwise enjoy this kind of game. The puzzles are decent, but the experience is undermined by a number of rough edges: * UI transitions that should be instantaneous—such as entering or leaving a puzzle—often take two or three seconds. * When entering a puzzle, I sometimes see my previous solution for a single frame before it flickers away. It makes the game feel as though it is not handling its state cleanly. * Ctrl+Z does not work as you would expect. There is no reliable way to undo every change made to a solution. * The tips often come across as patronising rather than helpful. * The interface makes poor use of the available screen space. The conversation preceding a puzzle is placed in a separate tab, when it could have been displayed beside the puzzle area, similar to *Opus Magnum*. * Double-clicking anywhere on a saved solution puts it into rename mode. This is unintuitive; I would expect renaming to require double-clicking the name itself, not any part of the save block. And if you double click the new s…

This is the best non-Zachtronics Zach-like I've ever played.

nice puzzles with some story

Reminds me of the Zachtronics puzzle games - and I love those. Great logic puzzle game.
